- The file is currently open by another user.
- The file is a mandatory member of an APSY subsystem, and the subsystem is currently active, even if no one is currently using the APSY.
- The file is currently open in this Online by another Model 204 Online as part of a scattered group.
- The file has the FRCVOPT X'10' bit set to prevent discontinuities, and the file has been updated in this Online.
